The Research in Focus Online Prize is being run in place of the annual PhD prize due to the online format of the 2021 conference. The Research in Focus Online Prize is based upon a video presentation of research and is open to all current PhD and recent graduates.
Early career researchers were invited to prepare a short video that focuses on their research. They could talk to their entire PhD project, or choose a sub topic. Entrants were judged on the effectiveness of their communication.
